Dear angie, there is no a pattern in that topic on Osinka. It's just chatting mostly. All useful information there are charts which are the same for all languages. Everybody is trying to figure out the best way to make it. I suggest you to take any shorts which fits you perfectly and use them as a pattern, get charts from the topic...http://itmages.ru/image/view/374829/acf79e10http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/ira-vyazanomanka/view/383909/?page=1get yarn and try to make yours.Here in my post is just an example of a pattern for shorts. I even don't know what size it is. Measurement is in centimeters. Anyways it's better to use you favorite shorts or get a pattern from elsewhere.I am sorry I can't help because I didn't make it yet.Can you read charts?Here is some information:http://www.smart-knit-crocheting.com/crochet-patterns.htmlThe thing is that Russian or Japanese recurses give you charts, not patterns. When I came here I was frustrated with patterns written on a few pages for something, I still am. I don't know how that Vogue survived when I was knitting a tunic from it. I was really a danger for people around me back at that time. I don't get it why instead not to put a single chart.I understand people who are used to patterns, but we all should get out of our "OK" plateau eventually.

They don't have to be exactly the same! I like yours very much. It's just that they use thinner yarn, but we are not those poor Chinese women who have to break their hands to get little money making these shorts. We can take it easy.I am making shorts now too. Actually it's going to be skort (??) Well, shorts underneath as lining and a mini skirt on top.

Hi Valentina. There is no exact pattern for these shorts. You can use charts above, but that's it. It might turn out differently. You wouldn't find the pattern on Osinka (link I mentioned) either, it's crocheting alone topic.

Hi tence, I would take shorts which perfectly fit me. To make my green shorts http://outstandingcrochet.blogspot.com/2012/07/crochet-shorts-meadow.htmlI took boyish panties I like, made a paper template, made a sample, washed it, dried it, stretched it because shorts are going to stretch to the maximum, counted gouge and counted all increases, decreases. And you have to keep in mind panties are very stretchable, you shorts are won't be that way, so make a template for crotch area, but for the rest use you measurements. It's a lot of work, I had to redo some parts, but worth it because they fit perfectly. There are some simple patterns out there, like square, but we are not square-pants here, we have our curves and we all different, so I wouldn't trust them. First of all, back of the shorts must be longer than front or you risk showing your cheeks every time you sit down and you will be very uncomfortable. Sorry I didn't answer right away, I was on vacation.

Hi. I believe I "stole" the circle chart from you.. I'm sorry. LOL I saved it to my computer ages ago and then I used it on my own blog (and totally forgot where I took it from) I edited the post and linked you.

I am sorry I have to delete your comment. I am OK with sharing some charts on designers garments for free, but I do not support coping other designers patterns and selling them for your own profit. You should create something of your own and sell it.

Ms. Kononova -- your blog is wonderful! I wonder if you might have some advice for dealing with yarn ends. I find that little tufts from the ends are showing on wearable items that I'm making (infinity cowls) and I can't see anything but these ends sticking up. Is there anything that can be done to hide them? Is there a yarn glue that might help. I read somewhere about scorching the ends, also. Thank you. Karen

Thank you, Karen. I assume the yarn with stubborn ends is acrylic? From my experience natural yarn (wool, cotton, linen) or blends never has this problem. You make 3 stitches in opposite direction and it stays in. Acrylic yarn will stick out. You can use fabric glue, some people do, but you'll have those hard spots on your wearables, not really fun. So my suggestions is to stick to natural yarn or blends and make at least 3 long stitches in opposite directions.

Hello! These are fabulous! I can't wait to try out this diagram. Can you give me some pointers on how you did the waistline where the ribbon goes through? Is that rows of double or Triple crochet folded over?? Thank you!!!

Hi, Amanda! I did not make them. The picture looks to me as elastic band and crochet band on top of it, sewed together at both long edges. Crochet band looks like a rotation of a row of double crochet stitches and a row of 2 DC together, ch. Crochet band is a stripe actually to form an opening to insert a tie.

I have a weird question but was wondering if it would be possible for me since crochet is not to ever be one of my talents. If it would be possible to use store bought runners and place pattern pieces on them cutting around the details and then either sealing the edges or seaming them but then sew the shorts together that way.
